This endpoint estimates the number of compute units an arbitrary Solana program invocation would consume. You provide the program to call, the base64-encoded instruction data, and the list of accounts the instruction references; the transaction is built and simulated against the node (without being broadcast) and the simulated compute units consumed are returned. This is the Solana analogue of estimating contract-interaction gas on EVM chains. Use it to size a ComputeBudget instruction before submitting the transaction.

Path Parameters

network string Required

Represents the name of the blockchain network used; blockchain networks are usually identical as technology and software, but they differ in data, e.g. - "mainnet" is the live network with actual data while a network like "devnet" is a test network.
